Rockies 10, Dodgers 4 - Los Angeles was swept by Colorado. Again. At home. Where's the heart? Where's the effort? When we looked at the schedule before the season, it looked like LA would be able to propel itself into the playoffs with a bunch of late games against the lowly Rockies. Instead, the Rockies have made a wild card charge on the shoulders of the Boys in Blue. They've won 11 in a row, 7 at the expense of the Dodgers (who have dropped 10 games in that same period). The season isn't quite over, but Grady Little announced that he doesn't expect Rafael Furcal, Jeff Kent and Tony Abreu to play again this season. It's not like anybody on the team has been playing for a few weeks, anyway.

Galaxy 1, Wizards 0 - Thanks to a 33 minute 1-man advantage, Los Angeles was able to put away Kansas City in the 80th minute. The Galaxy haven't been statistically eliminated from the playoffs, but it's a long shot right now. Oddly, 32,867 people showed up (the largest MLS crowd in Kansas City history) despite David Beckham sitting with an injury. In fact, they showed up after the local paper said he wasn't playing. We'd love to think soccer is growing in popularity (afterall, it's more popular than sex in some places), but maybe there's just not much to do in Kansas City on a Thursday night.
